Well, its just an idea that fascinates me. Reading Gerhard t'Hooft in the
1990's sort of set it all in motion. Also Raphael Bousso, in their analysis oh
the universe as hologram, etc. Are we the chuck of matter, or the reflection in
the mirror? That kind of thing.

>One idea I have been kicking around, is viewing through physics, that yes mind
is bran, brain is mind, but not totally. More, precisely, the notion that the
data, the pattern identity, the mind, the soul, personality, memory (whatever
we
wish to call it) is analogous to a computer network, where data and
information,
all information, gets written to some sort of media, a long, ways, off. Think
of
this as a read-write function of a storage area network. All server farms have
remote sites to preserve data, for "disaster recovery." All large companies
have
this, and so do governments as well. I am guessing that this is a feature of
the
cosmos-or really, just, hoping that it is so.
